If you're looking for a good single player mode, you're getting what seems like two games: one, an engaging card battle game, and the other a bit of a mess in terms of presentation and care. If you can overlook these issues, you'll probably still have a blast with the game anyway, just because of the sheer amount of content and customization.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission certainly has the content to warrant its $60 price tag. It’s really a matter of if any of this content sounds interesting to you. There’s a ton of replayability here if you really enjoy the game, and I can say that it’s something I’ll probably revisit overtime as a huge Dragon Ball Z fan. While it certainly doesn’t topple Arc System Works’ Dragon Ball FighterZ, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Heroes offers a refreshingly different experience.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission was an absolute delight, and initially I did have my doubts that I would enjoy an arcade card game. However, after playing it for many days and having my eyes glued to the television screen for hours, I admit that I was wrong to doubt. I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was, despite the simple and repetitive plot in its Story Mode. Although it can be hard to pick up, once you get the hang of it, it is a fun challenge.

The core game is pretty fun in a simple time-wasting way, and the "What If?" scenarios are significantly more engaging than the ones in Xenoverse. Unfortunately, to reach all of that, you have to deal with awkward UI, convoluted explanations, and just about the worst graphics you'll see in a $60 game. Fans who have the patience to deal with a lot of caveats can enjoy World Mission. Casual Dragon Ball players will want to go for the Xenoverse games for an overall higher-quality experience.

Overall, I’d say I like World Mission as a fun game to pick up once in a while, watch DB characters beat each other up, and enjoy a Japanese arcade experience on the go. For longer play sessions, the game can sometimes dip into monotony, but as far as fanservice-powered Dragon Ball spin-offs go, you could do a lot worse.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is the best version of the long-running card-battling series yet, boasting a raft of new adjustments, extra cards and fresh missions to keep you coming back for more. It’s packed to the rafters with content, from a heavy-duty story mode to local and online battles, so if you’re a fan of the series you’re going to lap up this entry now it’s finally arrived in the West. While it lacks the deeper tactical nuance of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions, it’s still a fun and unapologetically Japanese arcade experience right there on your Switch.

As a console game on Nintendo Switch, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is a frustratingly monotonous, plodding, mindless game. Being skilled at hitting the A button at the right moment is more important than the cards you bring into a battle. There is absolutely no reason to pay $60 for this game, and I wouldn’t recommend spending more than $10 on it. Even then, Super Dragon Ball Heroes is strictly for Dragon Ball mega fans looking to have some fun with the series canon. Everyone else should stay far, far away.
